Connecting explosion-protected AC motors

Observe the following information:

  • Install the inverter outside the potentially explosive atmosphere.
  • Observe industry and country-specific regulations.
  • Observe the regulations and information of the motor manufacturer with regard to operation on a frequency inverter, e.g. mandatory sine filter.
  • All operating resources used in potentially explosive atmospheres must adhere to the relevant standards, such as Directive 2014/34/EU or IEC 60079.
  • The sensor input of the motor's temperature monitoring must not be used in potentially-explosive areas. For thermal monitoring, use a monitoring device approved for potentially explosive atmospheres.
  • In case of motors with speed feedback, the speed sensor must also be approved for potentially explosive atmospheres. The speed sensor can be directly connected to the inverter.
